“…(Table 3 and 4), PH was one of the most promising traits for selection of alfalfa genotypes with higher DMB since it showed a high direct effect with the same sign of its phenotypic correlations. A comparable result was reported by Tuckak et al (2008), who emphasized the importance of PH for indirect selection at early stages of alfalfa. In addition, evaluating genotype height is relatively simple, requiring less time and labor.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship among traits related to yield and nutritive value of alfalfa genotypes grown under deficit and full irrigation conditions. Seventy-seven alfalfa genotypes were evaluated in two different cuts, the first one with full irrigation, and the second, with water deficit. A randomized block design with three replications was used. The evaluated traits were vigor, plant height, dry matter biomass, stem-to-leaf ratio, dry matter percentage, leaf and stem protein contents, in vitro dry matter digestibility, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and lignin. Significant interaction between genotypes and environments was reported for vigor, plant height, and lignin. The correlation between traits and path analysis of dry matter biomass was performed for each cut, aiming to identify auxiliary traits for indirect selection. Water availability did not alter the phenotypic and genotypic correlations, only their magnitudes. Regardless of the environment, plant height is one of the most promising traits for the selection of alfalfa genotypes with higher dry matter biomass since it showed a high direct effect in the same sense of its phenotypic correlations. However, the coefficient of determination obtained by the model applied to full irrigation was higher than that of the water-deficit environment, indicating the importance of variables not included in this study in the determination of alfalfa dry matter biomass under dry conditions.

“…The usefulness of marker-based diversity for predicting forage yield of alfalfa synthetic varieties is controversial. Yield was not correlated with marker diversity among 93 potential parents (Kidwell et al, 1999), whereas another study has shown a relationship to exist (Tucak et al, 2011).…”

“…Constantly maintenance genetic diversity and variability of alfalfa breeding pool during the selection through introductions of distances materials as a new source of genetic diversity is a prerequisite for successful breeding and developing of new cultivars/populations with high potential for yield and forage quality (Tucak et al, 2011;Živković et al, 2012).…”
